Well I had been putting it off, trying on the dress I hoped to wear this evening to the charity ball. :eek:

And it fits. :j:j:j Not sure what I would have worn if it didn't. :rotfl:

It's this one that I nearly wore to my 50th last year...



One of my bargains for £10 when after getting my inheritance I bought a few more dresses than I should have. Along with a few others I haven't worn yet. :o

Last time I wore more of a cocktail dress to the charity ball but almost everyone else was in ball gowns, but I'm just too short under 5" to carry one off plus the expense of getting a petite one. Anyway this dress says it is a prom dress but it's not got those ridiculous net underskirts for someone of my age. Meant to be just below the knee so midi type but on me is perfect as a just above the ankle maxi dress. :cool:

Now to decide which shoes to wear, reckon I might get to wear some fairly low gold ones to jazz it up, another impulse buy I have never worn either. Don't think I should go too high with my knee and foot still under repair. :rotfl:

That's a lovely dress TS.
I shall be on the look out for one soon for our silver wedding anniversary next year. Hoping there will be some bargains in the sales after Christmas.

Who would pay £1.99 for a little can of cider :eek:

So eating out of freezer continued last night. I had chicken Korma that I got free in Sada because DD1 didn't like another ready meal and they did replace and refund :beer:
DH had whoopsied Hot Tikka Masala from T with a Naan from Approved foods and Tilda Micrwave Pilau rice which I got whoopsied from Sada for 20p as someone thought it was a chilled item :rotfl:
DD2 had whoopsied ready to eat chicken drumsticks with a 25p Pot Noodle

My brunch today was Little Dish chicken pie - thought it a bit more flavoursome than some of the others.

MY OH is also my hairdresser and he does do a very good job too - I just have to endure the various insults about my scalp being very white, my head being too flat and he is also convinced I have bald bits - as if :rotfl:

I had a look in Poundland for the Vidal Sassoon dyes someone spotted but in the one I was in they only had the vivid red ones

I got the Olia from superdrug for the try me free challenge - anything up until 28 days for the cheque to arrive

In the meantime I just have 2 packs left so I check the hair colour section in every supermarket and superdrug I go past and live in hope .
